David Claus - Photo Discovered
Wednesday, January 26, 2011 at 5:12PM After an extensive search, as the official camera for the Gyeongsan Gifted Students' Christmas party was accidentally erased, a photograph of me dressed as Santa has at last surfaced!
;)
You better watch out!Taken by my co-teacher 태영 (Taeyoung) with her cell phone, I believe this was just about when I got on stage. Moments before, Paul, my co-hort from the Pohang Beach party, gave me a rousing intro, getting the students excited. As I burst into the hall, the youngsters shouted with delight, pointing and laughing. The older students had no trouble figuring out who was behind the beard, but they played along, some poking fun at the skinny Claus. Christmas isn't nearly as big a holiday here, and Santa is hardly the mystical entity he is in the West, but the kids know enough about him to know he means fun. I had a few younger students sit on my lap and pull on my beard, each with that special kind of wonder only a little kid can have.
The party went on for a few hours. We made lots of ornaments for some Christmas trees, ate a lot of cake and snacks (all stuffed in those white boxes in the picture), and generally had a great time.
The costume itself was ludicrously hot. I can clearly see why the real Santa lives in the North Pole. When I peeled it off, I was soaked to my bones. But it was worth it. It was a great opportunity to play the part and make the kids laugh. For the rest of the camp, I was "Santa" to the students; many coming up to me the following day, prodding me with:
"You were Santa right, Teacher David?"
"Oh no," I replied. "Santa went back to the North Pole, so you better be good!"
There's nothing like a child's skeptical eye and knowing smile. But a few walked away undecided.
"Ho, ho, ho."
